We need to fly a flag of bold colors, carrying the banner of putting the American people first, not the pale pastels of the warmed-over corporatism of people like Nikki Haley, he said.","source":"","title":"Ron DeSantis Gets In One Last Dig At Nikki Haleys Warmed-Over Corporatism","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"557703b9e4b09499c4202e27","userId":"557703b9e4b09499c4202e26","fullName":"Mollie Reilly","bio":{"text":"Mollie Reilly is HuffPost's managing editor of breaking news.

Participants have to gather in-person at public caucus locations in their local precincts on Monday evening. The caucuses are run by political parties, and voters will have a chance to listen to speeches and chat with other people before casting private ballots for their preferred candidate.

Ballots are generally a blank piece of paper where they write down a candidates name.

Iowans must be 18 by Election Day, registered to vote and have a party affiliation that matches the caucus they plan to participate in.

That's A Wrap On The Iowa Debate

That's it for tonight's GOP debate. The next one is scheduled for next Thursday, Jan. 18, ahead of the New Hampshire primary.

Ron DeSantis Gets In One Last Dig At Nikki Haleys Warmed-Over Corporatism

DeSantis closed out the debate by saying hes running for your issues, your family's issues, while accusing Haley of running for her donors issues.

We need to fly a flag of bold colors, carrying the banner of putting the American people first, not the pale pastels of the warmed-over corporatism of people like Nikki Haley, he said.

Nikki Haley Says Nation Cant Go Through Four More Years Of Chaos

Haley used her closing remarks to cast herself as a balanced, prepared candidate for office, saying another four years of Trump would amount to chaos for the nation.

We cant go through four more years of chaos, and if its Donald Trump there will be four more years of chaos, she said. We cant go through another nail-biter of an election.

She added recent polls showed strong support for her campaign in a potential match-up against Biden.

We can do this, I know we can do this, she said. I promise you our best days are to come.
